I Am Not a Dog

There is a Brazilian singer named Euripides Waldick Soriano (honest!), whose most famous song is "Eu não sou cachorro, não." which translates to "I Am Not a Dog." It has these lyrics:

"Eu não sou cachorro, não. Pra viver tão humilhado. Eu não sou cachorro, não. Para ser tão desprezado. Tu não sabes compreender."

"I am not a dog, no. Why must I live so humiliated. I am not a dog.   You are not able to understand."


Once while Waldick was singing this song on a stage, a dog came from one of the wings while wearing a sign, "I am not Waldick Soriano." The singer totally lost his cool and left the stage, leaving the encore for the dog to do alone.  Supposedly, it caused a riot!



Here is Waldick Soriano singing his hit song:

  4. I thought the video might be of the dog. I found this about him on Wikipedia - The magazine "Our History", December 2005, refers to the singer as "the most folkloric of tacky".

  6. If he comes to the local area to do a concert, I think I'll leave my spot open for someone else.

  8. I think he was hanging around the perimeter of my yard and I called the po-po.

    The comments on this one really made me laugh because we all basically must have the same opinion. I think we disagree with the title of the song, perhaps.
